GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong
(grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord having
the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare
has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these
tags.
BATTERIES
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power
source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or
operating your powered scooter.
RAIN TEST
INVACARE has tested its powered scooters in accordance with ISO 7176 “Rain Test”. This
provides the end user or his/her attendant sufficient time to remove his/her power
powered scooter from a rain storm and retain powered scooter operation.
DO NOT leave the powered scooter in a rain storm of any kind.
DO NOT use the powered scooter in a shower.
DO NOT leave the powered scooter in a damp area for any length of time.
Direct exposure to rain or dampness will cause the scooter to malfunction electrically and
mechanically; may cause the wheelchair to prematurely rust.
Check to ensure that the battery covers are secured in place and that all electrical
connections are secure at all times.

apparatus. Invacare powered scooters have NOT been designed or tested as a seat for any
